Billie Joe Armstrong
LP
No Fun Mondays
LIMITED EDITION
BABY BLUE VINYL
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is set to
release his covers series No Fun Mondays into a 14-
song collection on November 27 via Reprise/Warner
Records, No Fun Mondays sees Armstrong putting
his signature melodic-punk spin on the songs that
have formed the soundtrack to his life, including
classics by John Lennon, Billy Bragg, and Johnny
Thunders.
The No Fun Mondays series launched in March on
Green Day’s YouTube channel. Like many
musicians, Armstrong expected to spend much of
this year on the road, touring in support of Green
Day’s chart-topping February album, Father of All…
However, once the pandemic forced him to put
those plans on pause, Armstrong got busy with a
different kind of work. "While we’ve all been in
quarantine I’ve been reflecting on the things that
matter the most in my life: family, friends, and, of
course, music,” he says. “I figure if we have to
spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone
together."
Kicking things off with his perfectly on-trend cover
of Tommy James and the Shondells’ golden oldie, “I
Think We’re Alone Now,” Armstrong treated fans to
a new home-recorded cover song each Monday,
accompanied by a DIY video. Beyond paying
respects to his punk-rock forefathers (The
Avengers’ “Corpus Christi,” Dead Boy Stiv Bators’
“Not That Way Anymore”) and working-class heroes
(John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth,” Billy Bragg’s
“A New England”), Armstrong also indulged his love
of sugary pop through reverent versions of The
Bangles’ “Manic Monday” and the Beatlesque theme
to Tom Hanks’ 1995 film That Thing You Do! The
latter was performed in tribute to the song’s writer,
Adam Schlesinger, who passed away in April.
